The report adds that this feature shows that WhatsApp stores the sent media in its servers. And as a beta tester, you have the opportunity of trying the upcoming features before anyone else and give your feedback to WhatsApp about any bug. The report also claimed that this new feature was introduced for Android users between version 2.18.106 and 2.18.110. However, the company has now rolled out a fix for the same.

WABetaInfo points out that undowloaded media is now stored in WhatsApp's server for 30 days. Only if the file has been deleted in sdcard/WhatsApp/ and you have the message in the chat, you can successfully download it again. It has chose to store all the messages and multimedia content on its server even if it is downloaded by the user.

Mo Salah has final say on his jibe at rival Harry Kane

Earlier, when users deleted media files stored on the WhatsApp folder of their devices, they were no longer able to download those files again.

The WhatsApp team apparently got to know about the bug soon after it was reported online and brought its fix on April 14, Saturday. According to the report, the recipient was able to download media from a text sent 2 months ago but there for the messages dating back to nearly a year, the application asks to request the sender to send the file again. There is only one condition that, if you have cleared the conversation in which the concerned media file was received then it will not be possible to download that media file again. For instance, Yesterday became "89ESTERDAY" and Today became "84ODAY". While earlier, there was an assumption of privacy in that it was possible that Facebook deleted files after they were downloaded. However, WhatsApp had recently announced that their data and chats are secured with end-to-end encryption and nobody can read messages and listen to calls. This bug was altering the time stamp on WhatsApp messages by replacing the first two alphabets with the ASCI codes. Once it is found, just tap on it to download.
